How to buy a domain name

You have found your next domain name - now what?

When you have found your next business domain name in our marketplace, there are a few options to obtain the domain name. On this page we will explain how the domain name can be obtained. There are a few steps to take. Please let us guide you.

How to buy a domain name

To buy a domain name is not difficult in our marketplace. On the product page, where the domain and its information is listed, you can find one or two options: "Add to cart" or "Make an offer". The Make an Offer-button is only visible for domain names where we do accept offers. If the button is not visible we simply only sell for the listed price. It might sound a little obvious, but most questions we receive are about the buttons. 🙂

When you hit the Add to Cart-button, you will instantly be taken to the cart-page to check its contents. If you are interested in bying another domain name, please use the search bar on top of the screen to find the other domain. Again, when you hit the Add to Cart-button on the second domain you wish to purchase you will be redirected to the cart page once more.

When you are satisfied with the cart contents, please hit the "Proceed to Checkout"-button. Please fill in your personal details together with your best emailaddress. We have to send you some info you need for the transfer!

Always make sure to enter the right contact information. We need to contact you (by email) to make the transfer of the domain name!

After filling in your personal details, find the payment methods at the bottom of the page. We accept the following payments:

Escrow.com - mandatory for domain names above $1000, for both the seller's and buyer's safety,

Bitcoin/Altcoin - we use the gourl.io gateway to receive payments in cryptocurrencies. These coins are accepted: Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Dash, Potcoin (POT). Contact us if you want to use a different coins. We accept almost any coin, but need to walk a different road to do so.

Paypal - supporting almost every credit card and bank account. We accept Paypal for purchased lower than $1000.

MisterCash/Bancontact - this popular payment gateway in Belgium and Germany is only available for domain names under $1000.

iDEAL - the number one payment method in The Netherlands (our homebase) for domains below $1000. iDEAL is only available for .NL domain names.

Whenever you buy a domain name in whatever domain market place, please take your own safety in consideration when chosing a payment gateway. We strongly advise to use Escrow.com with any purchase. They have the service to withhold the money until the domain name transfer is finished. Like stated before: for both our safety.

Next: "Place Order" - the chosen payment gateway will open a new window to validate the payment to buy the domain name.

How To Make An Offer On A Domain Name

When you have hit the 'Make an offer'-button instead of the "Add to cart"-button, a new popup window appears. You need to fill all details asked to have the form send to us.

Note: please add '1' in the 'Quantity' field, else the form will not send

After setting the offer amount in the last field, hit the 'Submit offer'-button and wait.. We will review your offer and there are two possible outcomes:

Offer refused - you will find an email in your inbox with the notification that your supplied offer is not accepted. You can upgrade your offer or decline any further contact. No hard feelings.

Offer accepted - when we accept your offer, the form you used earlier has the feature to turn an offer into an order. That is very convenient for us and for you as well. You will find a notification in your email inbox to proceed the purchase.

When 'making an offer' on a domain name, please fill in a '1' in the "Quantity"-field.

How To Obtain The Domain Name

When everything is said and done, i.e. you have payed for the domain name and we have your personal details, the next step is to have the domain transferred to you. There are a few options:

Transfer code - we can send you the transfer code to move the domain name to a registrar of your choice. The steps to take are different per registrar so we will not list them here. Feel free to contact us if you have a question about the transfer procedure.

Push to your account - this is the fastest and often cheapest transfer. With some registrars the domain name can be pushed from one account to another account. All we need is a) the username or email address associated with the account and/or b) an accountnumber. This depends on the registrar where the domain name is pushed.

Every domain in our market place has the current registrar listed in the product description. Pushing a domain name to your account is possible with the following registrars.:

Dynadot

Namecheap

Godaddy

Neostrada

Name.com

Sweetdot Registry does not yet support pushing domain names betweet accounts. When the registrar of your choice is not listed above, please shoot us an email to inquire the possibilities.

Closing A Deal..
